Donetsk Republic Party

The Donetsk Republic Party is a Russian nationalist political party in the Donetsk People's Republic of eastern Ukraine, founded on 9 December 2005. The party was founded with the goal of granting a special status to the Russian-majority regions of the Donetsk Basin, but the party would come to rule over an independent Donetsk in 2014, holding 68/100 People's Soviet seats. There were many factions of the party, including a socialist minority and several conservative factions; all of the factions were united by Russian nationalism.
